DC Comics Animation - Blu-ray/DVD/Digital News & Discussion Thread, Part 19 (Spoilers)

[Frontier]

Man, that's a lot of movies .

Also interesting to see them use the Rebirth costume designs on the cover at given they haven't really popped up in animation yet...

 

[jkoolpe]

Just pre-ordered MotP from Amazon!

Worth every penny and then some to me...can't wait to see it again in Blu-Ray.

Sad that there looks to be no extras or a commentary, but has anyone heard anything about the sound?

Still hoping for an upgrade to 5.1 surround , but I know it's not very likely .

If you want a small taste of what the HD transfer for Batman: Mask of the Phantasm will look like, check out the trailer clip provided by Warner Archive.

Sad about the “no plans at this time” for a remastered animated series.

 

[defunctzombie]

Huh, another write up I read said they mentioned BTAS was "on the table". ???

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I actually think they said it was SUB-ZERO that was ''on the table'', as opposed to the actual series.

 

[defunctzombie]

Received my copy of MOTP today. The case and disc look good, I'll have to report later on the picture.

 

[James Harvey]

In short, Warner Archive's Blu-ray release of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm looks and sounds fantastic. It's not perfect, as some shots don't look as strong as others, but overall this film has never looked better. The audio mix is pretty amazing, as well. Expect a full review on The World's Finest very soon.

The Blu-ray talkback will be posted up tomorrow.

My most recent chat with Warner Archive regarding Static Shock on DVD:

 

[James Harvey]

According to Amazon.ca, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Justice League: The New Frontier: Commemorative Ediiton on October 3, 2017. Stay tuned for further details.

Update: CBR has an exclusive first look at the trailer for the upcoming special reissue release.

 

[Yojimbo]

Makes sense. The WW reissue was in May then the live action movie came out the next moth. Same case here with Justice League releasing in November in theaters.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

For all UK/Ireland fans, HMV will be releasing a complete 25th anniversary collection of B:TAS on October 30th (£40):

While the American sets are region free (excluding volume one)... this is the first time Vol. 3 & 4 has been made ''offically'' available on DVD in the UK/Ireland.

Batman: The Animated Series, Series 1-4 (HMV)

This just broke at the Batman TAS 25th anniversary panel at NY Comic Con. There are no details yet but "Super PR Guy" Gary Mieranu said it. Official written affirmation here:

[media]

Oh my God. This was the moonshot I dreamed about above everything else.

 

[James Harvey]

A massive, massive announcement. There are no words...

 

[-batmat-]

Tears in my eyes! Historic moment. Can't wait

 

[Riddler]

YES!!!!!! Can't believe it's actually happening!!!!!

 

[defunctzombie]

Looks like q4 next year:

Mod Edit: Warner Archive Tweet

Ugh, I don't know how to stop it from auto loading the tweet, but the link shows it linked to another tweet about BTAS.

[Gold Guy]

Oooh, wow. I just got the whole series on DVD about two years ago, but I'll probably have to splurge on this.

 

[darkdetective]

I'll definitely be double dipping on this. It does make me wonder how they're going to do this though, considering it was edited on video. They might have to recut every episode, like they did with the TNG blurays. It won't be cheap.
